A portrait of Absolom
In Friday's lesson we looked at the portrait of Absolom. Translate this section using your notes and have a look at the key quotations here. Chaucer mocks this character who has strong aspirations to be a courtly lover himself. Chaucer also invites us to compare him with Nicholas. They are both suitors for Alison's affections... which we know she gives freely. But who do you think she will favour?

The Miller's Tale
Here is the work we did on Thursday 24th June period 9/10. I've had to put this smart board on The MOODLE as I couldn't change it into a portable document. Here's the link:
http://moodle.malmesbury.wilts.sch.uk/course/view.php?id=855
You will have to download Smartboard reader if you are at home. Go to this link:

I'll keep trying to post it here. Perhaps it doesn't like my drawing...

Some research tasks on Chaucer and the Medieval period
Sorry I couldn't get this on the Blog before. I had a few problems getting the pdf to read properly. Anyway... Pick your area for research:
Courtly Love
Chivalry - The Knight's Code of Conduct
Pilgrimages in Chaucer's time
The role of the Church in Medieval England
E.M. Tillyard "The Elizabethan World Picture" - check out the chapter on 'The Chain of Being'.
There are links to really good websites on the last page. If the links don't work diresctly, copy and paste into your browser.
All the above will be important to your study of 'The Miller's Tale'.
Make brief notes so that you understand the terms.

A Literature Map
Just discovered a great site to help with wider reading. You type in the name of an author you have enjoyed reading and it will give you a whole list of other authors you might like to try. The closer the names are together, the better the match.
